Rose's mother Barbara McGrath was just as heartbroken to hear the news and said even though her daughter is no longer getting cancer treatment, that her recovery will take some time.

'Even though she's now done with her treatments you still have a very long recovery process because you've basically just put two and a half years of poison into your body. You're not recovering overnight,' said Rose's mother, Barbara McGrath.

Rose has been attending the Battle Creek Catholic Schools her whole entire life and when she was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia her world was turned upside down.

Rose told WWMT that school was the one place that she actually felt normal.

'When I'm at home, I'm sick, I don't feel well; no one else does that. But when I'm at school I'm like everyone else,' Rose said.

St. Joseph's catholic school that charges as much as $6,983 per year said that they were generous enough to provide Rose with special accommodations because of her illness.

It is unclear as to whether Rose was receiving financial assistance and they did not elaborate on what kinds of accommodations were made.

'These were extraordinary circumstances, but so many accommodations were made we felt eventually it became a point where we really had to help Rose, by being able to make sure that she was getting the assistance that she needed and to learn,' said Father John Fleckenstein, with Battle Creek Area Catholic Schools.

The school says that Rose only attended school 32 days out of this entire school year.

Rose McGrath's parents feel as though the school is seriously failing their child.

'The accommodations which were made were woefully inadequate for a child with such a serious diagnosis,' said Rose's father Tom McGrath to WWMT.

'It's not like she's out at the mall having fun, she's in her bed, sick with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain. She’s not having fun, she's sick. She’d be at school if she could,' Barbara said.

The McGrath's say that they filed a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights and that they are waiting for a response.
